Shimla: Evoking their muse, a score of young poets expressing their aspirations and the churning of the times, met over a Sunday afternoon to hold the first ‘Kavitactic’, an event that brings together poets in the region.
Shubhangi Thakur, one of the organisers of the event in the city disclosed, “in all there were 20 poets who participated in the event, which included 15 from Shimla and 5 from Chandigarh.”
